Event Details

Please join us to celebrate National Poetry Month with three local poets sharing their work around the theme: Poetry of Place.

Megan Haugh will read a selection of poems from her chapbook, desert poems, which features imagery from our Southern California deserts. Megan has an MFA in Poetry from UC Irvine, and has taught writing at UCI, UC San Diego, and elsewhere. Her work has been featured at the 29 Palms Book Festival and in Joshua Tree's literary magazine, Cholla Needles.

Angie Vorhies, poet and mother of three daughters, was born in Kansas, but living abroad (Germany, China, Italy, Korea) shaped her love of language and lifelong interest in land and borders. Her writing has appeared in Atlanta Review, Notre Dame Review, Poetry International, and Orion Magazine. Part of a community of writers, artists, and naturalists co-creating Watershed: A Southern California Literary Field Guide, she will read a selection of poems about how to live in relationship with water, land, ancestors, and more-than human beings--and invite the audience to participate.
